Some people at my local makerspace decided to build some of these "conestoga huts" to aid local homeless, which is basically a tiny house

https://www.communitysupportedshelters.org/conestoga-huts

as a shelter I would much prefer it over being homeless I guess, but there were issues

- Being made primarily out of wood it was cheap and easy to build, but it was HEAVY. I guess this is a good thing once its placed somewhere but it took 6 men to get it onto a trailer and because everyone is a volunteer its not easy finding a time when that many people can show up just to move a house (the building was the fun part)

- Where to put it? The city was more annoyed by our efforts (the actual organizers really since I just put in labor) than grateful because they started showing the houses off to people and saying "just as soon as the city tells us where to put it youll get a house"

- security on these was decent, I found out that primarily people wanted security from other homeless rather than even shelter

- without power or plumbing its not clear to me how actually livable these things would be. Although it had 2 windows it was extremely dark inside

Overall I think these types of houses are not solving the root issues - if the city decided to do it and found the land, it would be way better to just tack-weld some metal boxes together and weigh it down with concrete blocks. Then it takes specialists to build though and that sucks the spirit out of volunteers who want to spend a Sunday physically building something, not throw in $200 for a contractor to build 50 of them, even though that would obviously be of more help
I hope you're in a better situation now!

And indeed, this is about compassion and empathy.

I've never been homeless but if that was the case I would love it if some guy just came out of nowhere and gave me one of these things.
Depends if the funding stops. I think if they get a job at the university and do not need the funding, then the reports can stop.
> that I (and millions of other people less fortunate than me, that couldn't "afford" the non-ad-supported cost of these services) have benefited tremendously from the existence of Google and its ilk.

People who were into Google seem to tremendously overestimate the value it provided.

The only Google thing I ever used is Android, and only because it's too hard to avoid it.

Had there not been Google you'd have used alternative services, and your life would not have been much worse.

Yes, a similarly good search engine would have emerged, similar products would have been devised, and the internet would have been ad-supported as it already was before Google.
This starts with the framing. One does not have their identity stolen. The counterparty is instead defrauded into believing something that is not true - and the problem must be made entirely theirs.
Yeah, this is an insane proposal. I know GP may be imagining a smart populace walking away from Big Evil Facebook and X with heads held high, but the other 99% of sites are also doing the same cookie banner stupidity because it is roughly mandatory due to useless EU law (unless you’re not engaging at all in advertising even as an advertiser). So, no more accessing your bank, power utility, doctor, college, etc. That’ll show those pesky cookie banner people!

“The Internet” to someone boycotting cookie banners would basically just be a few self-hosted blogs.

What a terribly unfortunate time for you to foolishly choose to die on that particular of hill trying to defend Elon Musk's dedication to free speech. It says as much about your lack of situational awareness and tenuous grasp of reality and current events, as it does about Elon Musk's thin skinned hypocrisy and contempt for the free speech of anyone but himself.

The claims came after Elon Musk was involved in a public feud with some Republicans over immigration.

Screen Time on iOS (which Android picked up later) was a response to people being concerned about being on their phones all of the time.

"Uglifying" hacks (mostly using the grayscale filter) are popular too.

Then there are purpose-built devices like the reMarkable and Daylight Computer that tout "focus" as a selling point.

All that said, I don't think we (in the US) are ready for a complete social media cleanse. Lots of people use tricks to reduce their social media consumption (not too dissimilar to quit-smoking tactics, interestingly), but the overall reaction to banning TikTok was overwhelmingly negative. Furthermore, their stats on phone use while driving are actually low; one study actually claimed that 90% of people did this (and my experiences walking and biking around all but confirm this).
I should think it were fruit of the same root.
Installing Rust on an external USB and keeping the installation there
I worked in Big Tech and it changed my life financially so I can’t judge anyone else for doing it, but I will say that I had a moral reckoning while I was there and I am (right now) unwilling to go back.

At the time (2012-2022) the things about the business model that bothered me were surveillance culture, excessive advertising, and monopoly power. Internally I was also horrified at the abuse of “vendor/contractor” status to maintain a shadow workforce which did a lot of valuable work while receiving almost none of the financial benefits that the full-time workforce received.

3 years later all of those concerns remain but for me they’re a distant second behind the rise of AI. There’s a non-zero chance that AI is one of the most destructive creations in human history and I just can’t allow myself to help advance it until I’m convinced that chance is much closer to zero. I’m in the minority I know, so the best case scenario for me is that I’m wrong and everyone getting rich on AI right now has gotten rich for bringing us something good, not our doom.

Maybe your comment was meant to highlight costs and logistics or maybe it was meant to simultaneously undermine their project and projects like them, who can say? Do you think you'll be contributing or do you think there's fraud and you will dig into it? Hard to say you could have either motive, most any comment online could have either a good or nefarious motive. Maybe you're just wondering aloud or maybe you have an agenda.
> what if someone goofs an operation and it ends up returning the actual data

That's kind of like saying "they can take a picture of your face and transmit it, but what if someone goofs an operation and sends your actual head instead".

Any encrypted data the server has cannot 'accidentally' be decrypted, and as someone else explained in this thread they only send encrypted vectors describing features of the image (building, tree, etc) and not the actual image. It's certainly not a fact that "they are looking at your pictures" [1].

I assume it’s to discourage people from architecting designs that abuse the network. A good example would be collecting every single metric, every second, across every instance for no real business reason.
No, it isn't, which is why I added "definitionally". Let's say we have a limited resource, X, that is beneficial to hold, and it is more beneficial to hold more of it. As it is limited, acquiring necessarily means depriving another of it. Assuming one has the means to acquire more without impacting oneself negatively, in which situation (taking optimising for oneself as a maxim) you not seek to acquire more?

No, I expect defaults that aren't asinine from a company that bills themselves as a premium experience for software developers. It should be common sense, for the purposes of providing software to both ordinary users and software developers, to omit source files that aren't relevant search results. It's one of the most annoying features on Windows too, you'd hope Apple would see the writing on the wall and just fix it.

Harboring hope was my mistake, though. Sold my Mac in 2018 and haven't felt a desire to daily-drive MacOS since.

This describes it fairly well, although I was thinking of a CNBC interview in particular. He does so many that it’s hard to catalogue.

The argument is roughly that “the west” and “western morality” are critical institutions to be protected, and refusing to protect them is immoral.

> It is just part of the process of waking up and becoming unattached and less dependent and more aware of your surroundings and feeling the suffering so you create the will to change things.

Unless there is already the seed of making change and recognizing what change needs to be made, the idle time isn't really going to help. I suffer plenty in life, I don't need to artificially increase that as some sort of motivation to vote differently or interact with my community differently.

> All of this was brought to you by the internet by the people you complain about below.

Disagreement on social issues has always existed and would also exist even without the internet. I'm not sure what your point is with this comment.

I agree local efforts are great and meaningful. But for large systemic change we need different voting habits.

While I don't like the lack of freedoms in China, the Chinese government has done an amazing job lifting it's people out of poverty. I am not Chinese but I think most people around the world would gladly take that over being poor (most western people do not know how bad and undignified life in poverty can be)
What confuses me is how many people are evidently in the job of "ruthless exec" and then they do it amorally. I can't think of any time in my life that I've seen an exec say: no, we could do that, but we shouldn't because it's wrong. No doubt because anyone who acts that way gets naturally-selected out of the job.

But also there seems to be a pervasive belief, which if anything feels way strong than it was when I was younger (maybe because the moral-majority christian-nation vibes have fully disappeared, in the US at least? sure, it was always fairly hollow, but at least it was a thing at all), that a business leader is not supposed to do moral things, because it's not their job description; their job truly is "increase shareholder value on a 6-12 month timescale", and if they try to do something different they are judged negatively!

So maybe there is in theory good to be done by being an exec and being more moral than average (maybe not a tobacco exec, but, say, in tech?). But the system is basically designed to prevent you from doing it? It almost seems as though modern model of shareholder capitalism is almost designed to keep things this way: to eliminate the idea at any point that a person should feel bad if they just do the "efficient", shareholder-value-maximizing thing. Nobody has any agency in the big machine, which means no one is accountable for what it does. Perfect, just how we like it? Whereas at least a private enterprise which is beholden to the principles of its leader could in principle do something besides the most cynical possible play at every turn.

> DDD is against the idea of having a single unified model; instead it divides a large system into bounded contexts, each of which have their own model.

If you have a large system it makes sense to divide it into smaller independent pieces. If you have a (micro)-service architecture you have distinct services, in a monolith you might have modules.

It is a hard problem to know where exactly the boundaries between services or modules should be, in any case DDD calls the things that make sense to decouple bounded contexts.

I don't think you truly understand domestic abuse. It has multiple layers. The first step in to find someone who is vulnerable aka someone who is not a fighter.

And literally the reason for multiple wars and overthrowing of multiple governments/regimes/monarchies/etc. To this day, the reason it's accepted is because we consider it going to the common good and pooling our money to save ourselves money. Healthcare is a good example of pooling money to save money. But you see plenty of people fight against it to this day.

Congrats on your repo. Good to see more fellow medics using github!

One comment I would make on your approach to putting anki to work for you with medicine, is that it seems to rely on a 'factoids' approach, as opposed to a 'systematic' approach. This may not be the case with your learning more generally, but this is how your anki seems to be structured, so I am keen to make this observation: the problem with a 'factoids-based learning' approach, which unfortunately is all too common in medical education, is that it can backfire spectacularly, especially in an unstructured learning environment such as medicine, where physicians at ward rounds are much more likely to want to show you 'cool stuff' and 'exotic diagnoses', when they should be creating an appreciation and understanding of the 'boring' stuff first in a systematised manner instead. So you then go to final exams knowing all about cool factoids like what "moya moya" disease is and how it means 'puff of smoke' in japanese, but don't really quite know why right-sided heart failure doesn't quite immediately also cause left-sided heart failure directly and vice-versa, even though in theory it's all a connected tube. (totally random example, I assure you :p ).

One thing I did ages ago when I was finishing my own medical school journey (which I later deviated from to become an academic / biomedical engineer), was to formulate a "systematic approach to medicine". Everybody always talks of needing to have a 'system' when you first learn medicine, but nobody ever seems to quite know what this system is. So you need to figure out your own.

In the context of your systematic learning via Anki, I would advise you to formulate your cards such that they address all specific aspects of such a systematic approach. One way to do this via Anki specifically, would be to create a note type that goes through all aspects of that system per condition, but then generates specific cards for the parts that you want to extract as individual cards (rather than treating the whole note type as one mega-card you need to learn). This would not only help you be systematic in your learning, but it would also help you flag where gaps exist in your knowledge-base, since it would become immediately obvious at the point of creating your note, where areas of the 'system' are unaddressed.

Here is the link to my old 'system'. Feel free to take inspiration from it. (though if you do end up copying / using it formally in some capacity, I would appreciate an acknowledgement... :) )

DDD is just a sign that you should run. I was present for a system rewrite using DDD. We had developers duplicating entire models in separate databases and all number of dumbass shit. It resulted in a system that was very difficult to understand and support. Someone has to define the domains, get it wrong and the entire thing is a mess. DDD belongs on the scrap heap.

I'm not ignoring anything. I posted an analogy about how the US hospital business has some similar incentive structures as Google's search business, in that both are dependent on
third-parties to deliver revenue. You, for reasons that are not clear to me, felt the need to post an unhelpful, off-topic, and incorrect rant about the insurance system in the US backed up, apparently, by nothing more than your favorite AI hallucination engine.

I don't think you've even tried to understand what I posted or why, nor do I think you are capable of understanding why your claim is completely irrelevant to what I wrote. Guess what? Even if insurance companies purchased every single hospital in the country, those hospitals would still be dependent on the doctors to operate.
What would be the alternative in this hypothetical be? I'm not clear what the argument here really is.
Big multinational companies are creating entire development departments outside of the US. They aren’t hiring one or two contractors. Do you think the US has a monopoly on good developers?

My IBM Selectric II has buckling springs, but the ball/strike isn't fast enough to keep up with my typing... so the keys don't get abused nearly as much (never had a keyspring break on this typewriter).

My honest assessment of Unicomp's newer buckling springs: you need to use a more-durable metal [see 80's/90's versions, for comparison). The springs seems to fail more from fatique than force... which is almost-certainly a materials science deficiency.
